The conservative was on a national pro-law enforcement tour, touting Florida’s low crime rate, economic wins and program to recruit cops from other states with bonuses."Unfortunately, as polling shows, most Republicans don't want Donald Trump to be the Republican nominee in the 2024 election," said Rep. Rodney Davis.
